Legal representation could help in defense against drug charges

On behalf of The Collins Law Firm, P.C. posted in Drug Charges on Friday, July 31, 2015.

What starts out as a run of the mill traffic stop could quickly turn into being charged with a drug crime. If police find illegal drugs of any kind in your vehicle, you may be facing some serious consequences. If you are found with any drug other than marijuana that is an automatic felony in the state of Virginia. Marijuana possession can also turn into a felony depending on the amount of drugs you have.

The penalties that go along with a felony drug conviction can impact your entire life. You might be facing significant jail time, hefty fines, revocation of your driver's license and probation. Worst of all, even if you pay your dues, you will have a permanent criminal record that could affect future employment opportunities, buying a home and other aspects of your everyday life.
